3 Fix slow oplock break when mounted to different servers at the same time and
4 the tids match and we try to find matching fid on wrong server. Fix read
5 looping when signing required by server (2.6.16 kernel only). Fix readdir
6 vs. rename race which could cause each to hang. Return . and .. even
7 if server does not. Allow searches to skip first three entries and
8 begin at any location. Fix oops in find_writeable_file.
12 Fix NTLMv2 security (can be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs) so customers can
13 configure stronger authentication. Fix sfu symlinks so they can
14 be followed (not just recognized). Fix wraparound of bcc on
15 read responses when buffer size over 64K and also fix wrap of
16 max smb buffer size when CIFSMaxBufSize over 64K. Fix oops in
17 cifs_user_read and cifs_readpages (when EAGAIN on send of smb
18 on socket is returned over and over). Add POSIX (advisory) byte range
19 locking support (requires server with newest CIFS UNIX Extensions
20 to the protocol implemented). Slow down negprot slightly in port 139
21 RFC1001 case to give session_init time on buggy servers.
25 Use fsuid (fsgid) more consistently instead of uid (gid). Improve performance
26 of readpages by eliminating one extra memcpy. Allow update of file size
27 from remote server even if file is open for write as long as mount is
28 directio. Recognize share mode security and send NTLM encrypted password
29 on tree connect if share mode negotiated.
33 Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
34 (this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
35 stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
36 Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the
37 CIFS Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian. Timeout negative
38 dentries so files that the client sees as deleted but that later get created
39 on the server will be recognized. Add client side permission check on setattr.
40 Timeout stuck requests better (where server has never responded or sent corrupt
45 Fix tcp socket retransmission timeouts (e.g. on ENOSPACE from the socket)
46 to be smaller at first (but increasing) so large write performance performance
47 over GigE is better. Do not hang thread on illegal byte range lock response
48 from Windows (Windows can send an RFC1001 size which does not match smb size) by
49 allowing an SMBs TCP length to be up to a few bytes longer than it should be.
50 wsize and rsize can now be larger than negotiated buffer size if server
51 supports large readx/writex, even when directio mount flag not specified.
52 Write size will in many cases now be 16K instead of 4K which greatly helps
53 file copy performance on lightly loaded networks. Fix oops in dnotify
54 when experimental config flag enabled. Make cifsFYI more granular.
58 Fix readdir caching when unlink removes file in current search buffer,
59 and this is followed by a rewind search to just before the deleted entry.
60 Do not attempt to set ctime unless atime and/or mtime change requested
61 (most servers throw it away anyway). Fix length check of received smbs
62 to be more accurate. Fix big endian problem with mapchars mount option,
63 and with a field returned by statfs.
67 Add support for mounting to older pre-CIFS servers such as Windows9x and ME.
68 For these older servers, add option for passing netbios name of server in
69 on mount (servernetbiosname). Add suspend support for power management, to
70 avoid cifsd thread preventing software suspend from working.
71 Add mount option for disabling the default behavior of sending byte range lock
72 requests to the server (necessary for certain applications which break with
73 mandatory lock behavior such as Evolution), and also mount option for
74 requesting case insensitive matching for path based requests (requesting
75 case sensitive is the default).
79 Add writepage performance improvements. Fix path name conversions
80 for long filenames on mounts which were done with "mapchars" mount option
81 specified. Ensure multiplex ids do not collide. Fix case in which
82 rmmod can oops if done soon after last unmount. Fix truncated
83 search (readdir) output when resume filename was a long filename.
84 Fix filename conversion when mapchars mount option was specified and
85 filename was a long filename.
89 Fix error mapping of the TOO_MANY_LINKS (hardlinks) case.
90 Do not oops if root user kills cifs oplock kernel thread or
91 kills the cifsd thread (NB: killing the cifs kernel threads is not
92 recommended, unmount and rmmod cifs will kill them when they are
93 no longer needed). Fix readdir to ASCII servers (ie older servers
94 which do not support Unicode) and also require asterisk.
95 Fix out of memory case in which data could be written one page
96 off in the page cache.
100 Fix caching problem, in which readdir of directory containing a file
101 which was cached could cause the file's time stamp to be updated
102 without invalidating the readahead data (so we could get stale
103 file data on the client for that file even as the server copy changed).
104 Cleanup response processing so cifsd can not loop when abnormally
110 Fix oops in ls when Transact2 FindFirst (or FindNext) returns more than one
111 transact response for an SMB request and search entry split across two frames.
112 Add support for lsattr (getting ext2/ext3/reiserfs attr flags from the server)
113 as new protocol extensions. Do not send Get/Set calls for POSIX ACLs
114 unless server explicitly claims to support them in CIFS Unix extensions
115 POSIX ACL capability bit. Fix packet signing when multiuser mounting with
116 different users from the same client to the same server. Fix oops in
117 cifs_close. Add mount option for remapping reserved characters in
118 filenames (also allow recognizing files with created by SFU which have any
119 of these seven reserved characters, except backslash, to be recognized).
120 Fix invalid transact2 message (we were sometimes trying to interpret
121 oplock breaks as SMB responses). Add ioctl for checking that the
122 current uid matches the uid of the mounter (needed by umount.cifs).
123 Reduce the number of large buffer allocations in cifs response processing
124 (significantly reduces memory pressure under heavy stress with multiple
125 processes accessing the same server at the same time).
129 Fix updates of DOS attributes and time fields so that files on NT4 servers
130 do not get marked delete on close. Display sizes of cifs buffer pools in
131 cifs stats. Fix oops in unmount when cifsd thread being killed by
132 shutdown. Add generic readv/writev and aio support. Report inode numbers
133 consistently in readdir and lookup (when serverino mount option is
134 specified use the inode number that the server reports - for both lookup
135 and readdir, otherwise by default the locally generated inode number is used
136 for inodes created in either path since servers are not always able to
137 provide unique inode numbers when exporting multiple volumes from under one
142 Allow new nouser_xattr mount parm to disable xattr support for user namespace.
143 Do not flag user_xattr mount parm in dmesg. Retry failures setting file time
144 (mostly affects NT4 servers) by retry with handle based network operation.
145 Add new POSIX Query FS Info for returning statfs info more accurately.
146 Handle passwords with multiple commas in them.
150 Fix default mode in sysfs of cifs module parms. Remove old readdir routine.
151 Fix capabilities flags for large readx so as to allow reads larger than 64K.
155 Add module init parm for large SMB buffer size (to allow it to be changed
156 from its default of 16K) which is especially useful for large file copy
157 when mounting with the directio mount option. Fix oops after
158 returning from mount when experimental ExtendedSecurity enabled and
159 SpnegoNegotiated returning invalid error. Fix case to retry better when
160 peek returns from 1 to 3 bytes on socket which should have more data.
161 Fixed path based calls (such as cifs lookup) to handle path names
162 longer than 530 (now can handle PATH_MAX). Fix pass through authentication
163 from Samba server to DC (Samba required dummy LM password).
167 Turn off DNOTIFY (directory change notification support) by default
168 (unless built with the experimental flag) to fix hang with KDE
169 file browser. Fix DNOTIFY flag mappings. Fix hang (in wait_event
170 waiting on an SMB response) in SendReceive when session dies but
171 reconnects quickly from another task. Add module init parms for
172 minimum number of large and small network buffers in the buffer pools,
173 and for the maximum number of simultaneous requests.
177 Add setfacl support to allow setting of ACLs remotely to Samba 3.10 and later
178 and other POSIX CIFS compliant servers. Fix error mapping for getfacl
179 to EOPNOTSUPP when server does not support posix acls on the wire. Fix
180 improperly zeroed buffer in CIFS Unix extensions set times call.
184 Fix internationalization problem in cifs readdir with filenames that map to
185 longer UTF-8 strings than the string on the wire was in Unicode. Add workaround
186 for readdir to netapp servers. Fix search rewind (seek into readdir to return
187 non-consecutive entries). Do not do readdir when server negotiates
188 buffer size to small to fit filename. Add support for reading POSIX ACLs from
189 the server (add also acl and noacl mount options).
193 Optionally allow using server side inode numbers, rather than client generated
194 ones by specifying mount option "serverino" - this is required for some apps
195 to work which double check hardlinked files and have persistent inode numbers.
199 Multiple bigendian fixes. On little endian systems (for reconnect after
200 network failure) fix tcp session reconnect code so we do not try first
201 to reconnect on reverse of port 445. Treat reparse points (NTFS junctions)
202 as directories rather than symlinks because we can do follow link on them.
206 Add config option to enable XATTR (extended attribute) support, mapping
207 xattr names in the "user." namespace space to SMB/CIFS EAs. Lots of
208 minor fixes pointed out by the Stanford SWAT checker (mostly missing
209 or out of order NULL pointer checks in little used error paths).
213 Add new mount parm to control whether mode check (generic_permission) is done
214 on the client. If Unix extensions are enabled and the uids on the client
215 and server do not match, client permission checks are meaningless on
216 server uids that do not exist on the client (this does not affect the
217 normal ACL check which occurs on the server). Fix default uid
218 on mknod to match create and mkdir. Add optional mount parm to allow
219 override of the default uid behavior (in which the server sets the uid
220 and gid of newly created files). Normally for network filesystem mounts
221 user want the server to set the uid/gid on newly created files (rather than
222 using uid of the client processes you would in a local filesystem).
226 Make transaction counts more consistent. Merge /proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps
227 info into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData. Fix oops in rare oops in readdir
228 (in build_wildcard_path_from_dentry). Fix mknod to pass type field
229 (block/char/fifo) properly. Remove spurious mount warning log entry when
230 credentials passed as mount argument. Set major/minor device number in
231 inode for block and char devices when unix extensions enabled.
235 Fix /proc/fs/cifs/Stats and DebugData display to handle larger
236 amounts of return data. Properly limit requests to MAX_REQ (50
237 is the usual maximum active multiplex SMB/CIFS requests per server).
238 Do not kill cifsd (and thus hurt the other SMB session) when more than one
239 session to the same server (but with different userids) exists and one
240 of the two user's smb sessions is being removed while leaving the other.
241 Do not loop reconnecting in cifsd demultiplex thread when admin
242 kills the thread without going through unmount.
246 Do not rename hardlinked files (since that should be a noop). Flush
247 cached write behind data when reopening a file after session abend,
248 except when already in write. Grab per socket sem during reconnect
249 to avoid oops in sendmsg if overlapping with reconnect. Do not
250 reset cached inode file size on readdir for files open for write on
256 Update number of blocks in file so du command is happier (in Linux a fake
257 blocksize of 512 is required for calculating number of blocks in inode).
258 Fix prepare write of partial pages to read in data from server if possible.
259 Fix race on tcpStatus field between unmount and reconnection code, causing
260 cifsd process sometimes to hang around forever. Improve out of memory
261 checks in cifs_filldir
265 Fix incorrect file size in file handle based setattr on big endian hardware.
266 Fix oops in build_path_from_dentry when out of memory. Add checks for invalid
267 and closing file structs in writepage/partialpagewrite. Add statistics
268 for each mounted share (new menuconfig option). Fix endianness problem in
269 volume information displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (only affects
270 affects big endian architectures). Prevent renames while constructing
271 path names for open, mkdir and rmdir.
275 Change to mempools for alloc smb request buffers and multiplex structs
276 to better handle low memory problems (and potential deadlocks).
280 Fix incomplete listings of large directories on Samba servers when Unix
281 extensions enabled. Fix oops when smb_buffer can not be allocated. Fix
282 rename deadlock when writing out dirty pages at same time.
286 Fix open of files in which O_CREATE can cause the mode to change in
287 some cases. Fix case in which retry of write overlaps file close.
288 Fix PPC64 build error. Reduce excessive stack usage in smb password
289 hashing. Fix overwrite of Linux user's view of file mode to Windows servers.
293 Fixes for large file copy, signal handling, socket retry, buffer
294 allocation and low memory situations.
298 Better port 139 support to Windows servers (RFC1001/RFC1002 Session_Initialize)
299 also now allowing support for specifying client netbiosname. NT4 support added.
303 Fix reconnection (and certain failed mounts) to properly wake up the
304 blocked users thread so it does not seem hung (in some cases was blocked
305 until the cifs receive timeout expired). Fix spurious error logging
306 to kernel log when application with open network files killed.
310 Fix /proc/fs module unload warning message (that could be logged
311 to the kernel log). Fix intermittent failure in connectathon
312 test7 (hardlink count not immediately refreshed in case in which
313 inode metadata can be incorrectly kept cached when time near zero)
317 Allow file_mode and dir_mode (specified at mount time) to be enforced
318 locally (the server already enforced its own ACLs too) for servers
319 that do not report the correct mode (do not support the
320 CIFS Unix Extensions).
324 Fix some small memory leaks in some unmount error paths. Fix major leak
325 of cache pages in readpages causing multiple read oriented stress
326 testcases (including fsx, and even large file copy) to fail over time.
330 Send NTCreateX with ATTR_POSIX if Linux/Unix extensions negotiated with server.
331 This allows files that differ only in case and improves performance of file
332 creation and file open to such servers. Fix semaphore conflict which causes
333 slow delete of open file to Samba (which unfortunately can cause an oplock
334 break to self while vfs_unlink held i_sem) which can hang for 20 seconds.
338 fixes to cifs_readpages for fsx test case
342 Fix caching data integrity bug when extending file size especially when no
343 oplock on file. Fix spurious logging of valid already parsed mount options
344 that are parsed outside of the cifs vfs such as nosuid.
349 Connect to server when port number override not specified, and tcp port
350 unitialized. Reset search to restart at correct file when kernel routine
351 filldir returns error during large directory searches (readdir).
355 Fix caching problem when files opened by multiple clients in which
356 page cache could contain stale data, and write through did
357 not occur often enough while file was still open when read ahead
358 (read oplock) not allowed. Treat "sep=" when first mount option
359 as an override of comma as the default separator between mount
364 Allow passwords longer than 16 bytes. Allow null password string.
368 Gracefully clean up failed mounts when attempting to mount to servers such as
369 Windows 98 that terminate tcp sessions during protocol negotiation. Handle
370 embedded commas in mount parsing of passwords.
374 Invalidate local inode cached pages on oplock break and when last file
375 instance is closed so that the client does not continue using stale local
376 copy rather than later modified server copy of file. Do not reconnect
377 when server drops the tcp session prematurely before negotiate
378 protocol response. Fix oops in reopen_file when dentry freed. Allow
379 the support for CIFS Unix Extensions to be disabled via proc interface.
383 Fix hang in commit_write during reconnection of open files under heavy load.
384 Fix unload_nls oops in a mount failure path. Serialize writes to same socket
385 which also fixes any possible races when cifs signatures are enabled in SMBs
386 being sent out of signature sequence number order.
390 Fix byte range locking bug (endian problem) causing bad offset and
395 Fix oops (in send_sig) caused by CIFS unmount code trying to
396 wake up the demultiplex thread after it had exited. Do not log
397 error on harmless oplock release of closed handle.
401 Fix unsafe global variable usage and password hash failure on gcc 3.3.1
402 Fix problem reconnecting secondary mounts to same server after session
403 failure. Fix invalid dentry - race in mkdir when directory gets created
404 by another client between the lookup and mkdir.
408 Fix to list processing in reopen_files. Fix reconnection when server hung
409 but tcpip session still alive. Set proper timeout on socket read.
413 Add missing mount options including iocharset. SMP fixes in write and open.
414 Fix errors in reconnecting after TCP session failure. Fix module unloading
415 of default nls codepage
419 Active smb transactions should never go negative (fix double FreeXid). Fix
420 list processing in file routines. Check return code on kmalloc in open.
421 Fix spinlock usage for SMP.
425 Fix oops in reopen_files when invalid dentry. drop dentry on server rename
426 and on revalidate errors. Fix cases where pid is now tgid. Fix return code
427 on create hard link when server does not support them.
431 Fix scheduling while atomic error in getting inode info on newly created file.
432 Fix truncate of existing files opened with O_CREAT but not O_TRUNC set.
436 Fix oops on write to dead tcp session. Remove error log write for case when file open
437 O_CREAT but not O_EXCL
441 Fix non-POSIX behavior on rename of open file and delete of open file by taking
442 advantage of trans2 SetFileInfo rename facility if available on target server.
443 Retry on ENOSPC and EAGAIN socket errors.
447 Fix oops on big endian readdir. Set blksize to be even power of two (2**blkbits) to fix
448 allocation size miscalculation. After oplock token lost do not read through
453 Fix oops on empty file readahead. Fix for file size handling for locally cached files.
457 Fix oops in mkdir when server fails to return inode info. Fix oops in reopen_files
458 during auto reconnection to server after server recovered from failure.
462 Finish support for Linux 2.5 open/create changes, which removes the
463 redundant NTCreate/QPathInfo/close that was sent during file create.
464 Enable oplock by default. Enable packet signing by default (needed to
465 access many recent Windows servers)
469 Fix oops when mounting to long server names caused by inverted parms to kmalloc.
470 Fix MultiuserMount (/proc/fs/cifs configuration setting) so that when enabled
471 we will choose a cifs user session (smb uid) that better matches the local
472 uid if a) the mount uid does not match the current uid and b) we have another
473 session to the same server (ip address) for a different mount which
474 matches the current local uid.
478 Add support for mknod of block or character devices. Fix oplock
479 code (distributed caching) to properly send response to oplock
484 Finish up CIFS packet digital signing for the default
485 NTLM security case. This should help Windows 2003
486 network interoperability since it is common for
487 packet signing to be required now. Fix statfs (stat -f)
488 which recently started returning errors due to
489 invalid value (-1 instead of 0) being set in the
490 struct kstatfs f_ffiles field.
494 Fix oops on stopping oplock thread when removing cifs when
499 Fix mount options for ro (readonly), uid, gid and file and directory mode.
503 Fix errors displayed on failed mounts to be more understandable.
504 Fixed various incorrect or misleading smb to posix error code mappings.
508 Fix display of NTFS DFS junctions to display as symlinks.
509 They are the network equivalent. Fix oops in
510 cifs_partialpagewrite caused by missing spinlock protection
511 of openfile linked list. Allow writebehind caching errors to
512 be returned to the application at file close.
516 Clean up options displayed in /proc/mounts by show_options to
517 be more consistent with other filesystems.
521 Fix delete of readonly file to Windows servers. Reflect
522 presence or absence of read only dos attribute in mode
523 bits for servers that do not support CIFS Unix extensions.
524 Fix shortened results on readdir of large directories to
525 servers supporting CIFS Unix extensions (caused by
526 incorrect resume key).
530 Fix truncate bug (set file size) that could cause hangs e.g. running fsx
534 unload nls if mount fails.
538 Add resume key support to search (readdir) code to workaround
539 Windows bug. Add /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable which
540 allows disabling caching of attribute information for
545 Add more oplock handling (distributed caching code). Remove
546 dead code. Remove excessive stack space utilization from
551 Fix oops in get dfs referral (triggered when null path sent in to
552 mount). Add support for overriding rsize at mount time.
556 Fix buffer overrun in readdir which caused intermittent kernel oopses.
557 Fix writepage code to release kmap on write data. Allow "-ip=" new
558 mount option to be passed in on parameter distinct from the first part
559 (server name portion of) the UNC name. Allow override of the
560 tcp port of the target server via new mount option "-port="
564 Fix search handle leak on rewind. Fix setuid and gid so that they are
565 reflected in the local inode immediately. Cleanup of whitespace
566 to make 2.4 and 2.5 versions more consistent.
571 Fix signal sending so that captive thread (cifsd) exits on umount
572 (which was causing the warning in kmem_cache_free of the request buffers
573 at rmmod time). This had broken as a sideeffect of the recent global
574 kernel change to daemonize. Fix memory leak in readdir code which
575 showed up in "ls -R" (and applications that did search rewinding).
579 Reconnect tids and fids after session reconnection (still do not
580 reconnect byte range locks though). Fix problem caching
581 lookup information for directory inodes, improving performance,
582 especially in deep directory trees. Fix various build warnings.
586 Finish fixes to commit write for caching/readahead consistency. fsx
587 now works to Samba servers. Fix oops caused when readahead
588 was interrupted by a signal.
592 Fix data corruption (in partial page after truncate) that caused fsx to
593 fail to Windows servers. Cleaned up some extraneous error logging in
594 common error paths. Add generic sendfile support.
598 Fix memory leak in AllocMidQEntry.
599 Finish reconnection logic, so connection with server can be dropped
600 (or server rebooted) and the cifs client will reconnect.
604 Fix temporary socket leak when bad userid or password specified
605 (or other SMBSessSetup failure). Increase maximum buffer size to slightly
606 over 16K to allow negotiation of up to Samba and Windows server default read
607 sizes. Add support for readpages
611 Fix oops when username not passed in on mount. Extensive fixes and improvements
612 to error logging (strip redundant newlines, change debug macros to ensure newline
613 passed in and to be more consistent). Fix writepage wrong file handle problem,
614 a readonly file handle could be incorrectly used to attempt to write out
615 file updates through the page cache to multiply open files. This could cause
616 the iozone benchmark to fail on the fwrite test. Fix bug mounting two different
617 shares to the same Windows server when using different usernames
618 (doing this to Samba servers worked but Windows was rejecting it) - now it is
619 possible to use different userids when connecting to the same server from a
620 Linux client. Fix oops when treeDisconnect called during unmount on
621 previously freed socket.
625 Fix oops in readpages caused by not setting address space operations in inode in
630 Includes support for deleting of open files and renaming over existing files (per POSIX
631 requirement). Add readlink support for Windows junction points (directory symlinks).
635 Changed read and write to go through pagecache. Added additional address space operations.
636 Memory mapped operations now working.
640 Added writepage code for additional memory mapping support. Fixed leak in xids causing
641 the simultaneous operations counter (/proc/fs/cifs/SimultaneousOps) to increase on
642 every stat call. Additional formatting cleanup.
646 Fix bigendian bug in order of time conversion. Merge 2.5 to 2.4 version. Formatting cleanup.
650 Fixes from Zwane Mwaikambo for adding missing return code checking in a few places.
651 Also included a modified version of his fix to protect global list manipulation of
652 the smb session and tree connection and mid related global variables.
656 Fix problem with captive thread hanging around at unmount time. Adjust to 2.5.42-pre
657 changes to superblock layout. Remove wasteful allocation of smb buffers (now the send
658 buffer is reused for responses). Add more oplock handling. Additional minor cleanup.
662 More stylistic updates to better match kernel style. Add additional statistics
663 for filesystem which can be viewed via /proc/fs/cifs. Add more pieces of NTLMv2
664 and CIFS Packet Signing enablement.
668 Replace call to sleep_on with safer wait_on_event.
669 Make stylistic changes to better match kernel style recommendations.
670 Remove most typedef usage (except for the PDUs themselves).
674 Update mount so the -unc mount option is no longer required (the ip address can be specified
675 in a UNC style device name. Implementation of readpage/writepage started.
679 Fix intermittent problem with incorrect smb header checking on badly
680 fragmented tcp responses
684 Fixes to setting of allocation size and file size.
688 Various 2.5.38 fixes. Now works on 2.5.38
692 Prepare for 2.5 kernel merge. Remove ifdefs.
696 Socket buffer management fixes. Fix dual free.
700 Various big endian fixes for hardlinks and symlinks and also for dfs.
704 Various big endian fixes for servers with Unix extensions such as Samba
708 Various FindNext fixes for incorrect filenames on large directory searches on big endian
709 clients. basic posix file i/o tests now work on big endian machines, not just le
713 SessionSetup and NegotiateProtocol now work from Big Endian machines.
714 Various Big Endian fixes found during testing on the Linux on 390. Various fixes for compatibility with older
715 versions of 2.4 kernel (now builds and works again on kernels at least as early as 2.4.7).
719 Various minor fixes for Connectathon Posix "basic" file i/o test suite. Directory caching fixed so hardlinked
720 files now return the correct number of links on fstat as they are repeatedly linked and unlinked.
724 Implemented "Raw" (i.e. not encapsulated in SPNEGO) NTLMSSP (i.e. the Security Provider Interface used to negotiate
725 session advanced session authentication). Raw NTLMSSP is preferred by Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
726 Began implementing support for SPNEGO encapsulation of NTLMSSP based session authentication blobs
727 (which is the mechanism preferred by Windows 2000 server in the absence of Kerberos).
731 Introduced optional mount helper utility mount.cifs and made coreq changes to cifs vfs to enable
732 it. Fixed a few bugs in the DFS code (e.g. bcc two bytes too short and incorrect uid in PDU).
736 Rewrote much of connection and mount/unmount logic to handle bugs with
737 multiple uses to same share, multiple users to same server etc.
741 Fixed major problem with dentry corruption (missing call to dput)
745 Rewrite of readdir code to fix bug. Various fixes for bigendian machines.
746 Begin adding oplock support. Multiusermount and oplockEnabled flags added to /proc/fs/cifs
747 although corresponding function not fully implemented in the vfs yet
751 Fixed dentry caching bug, misc. cleanup
755 Fixed 2.5 support to handle build and configure changes as well as misc. 2.5 changes. Now can build
756 on current 2.5 beta version (2.5.24) of the Linux kernel as well as on 2.4 Linux kernels.
757 Support for STATUS codes (newer 32 bit NT error codes) added. DFS support begun to be added.
761 Unix extensions (symlink, readlink, hardlink, chmod and some chgrp and chown) implemented
762 and tested against Samba 2.2.5
767 1) Fixed lockrange to be correct (it was one byte too short)
769 2) Fixed GETLK (i.e. the fcntl call to test a range of bytes in a file to see if locked) to correctly
770 show range as locked when there is a conflict with an existing lock.
772 3) default file perms are now 2767 (indicating support for mandatory locks) instead of 777 for directories
773 in most cases. Eventually will offer optional ability to query server for the correct perms.
775 3) Fixed eventual trap when mounting twice to different shares on the same server when the first succeeded
776 but the second one was invalid and failed (the second one was incorrectly disconnecting the tcp and smb
779 4) Fixed error logging of valid mount options
781 5) Removed logging of password field.
783 6) Moved negotiate, treeDisconnect and uloggoffX (only tConx and SessSetup remain in connect.c) to cifssmb.c
784 and cleaned them up and made them more consistent with other cifs functions.
786 7) Server support for Unix extensions is now fully detected and FindFirst is implemented both ways
787 (with or without Unix extensions) but FindNext and QueryPathInfo with the Unix extensions are not completed,
788 nor is the symlink support using the Unix extensions
790 8) Started adding the readlink and follow_link code
